I'm looking at getting a gateway device to replace the ISP router that sits between the internet connection and the mesh WiFi.

I am running pi-hole on a (very old) raspberry pi, but I know some gateways get quite fancy so I'm wondering if it's possible to have pi-hole on the gateway itself, to run as DNS and DHCP servers?

Other things I'm looking for in a gateway are VPN as a client (preferably Wireguard) and PoE ports for cameras.

If it's possible to host something like pi-hole directly on the gateway then hardware recommendations are appreciated!

I had been considering the Dream Machine Special Edition, though the website lists it as $500 but it's gonna cost more like $750USD if I get it locally 😅. At least it's available locally though, unlike some of the others listed in this thread which are gonna be hard to get.
